We’ve got a new case to follow and new documents to read! Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia on two counts: false statements and obstruction. In this episode we go over the charges and their basis and consider how unlikely a conviction is and ask what the point of it all is. If you find this episode enjoyable and informative, please like, share, a...

In this episode, we dive into the recent Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report on Charles McGonigal, the former FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Counterintelligence Division in the New York Field Office. Once a trusted figure in national security, McGonigal was found to have engaged in serious misconduct, including tipping off the China Energy Fund Committee (CEFC) a...

In this episode, I share insights on navigating the overwhelming news cycle, managing the urge to keep up with its relentless pace—an impossible task—while staying focused on what truly matters and maintaining your sanity. We then go over the unsealed court documents related to the FBI’s raid of John Bolton’s home and office. Was it just about the documents he used for his memoir? Is he the only t...

In this episode, we catch up on the latest news regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the arrest of Tyler Robinson. We also go over the recent Epstein/Maxwell disclosures from the House. This episode is a bit disjointed, as I recorded part of it shortly before the assassination of Kirk and another portion of it a couple days later. If you found this episode enjoyable and informative, ple...

In this episode, I start with a brief reintroduction to the podcast before diving into a study that reveals how people categorize others into “good guys” and “bad guys” based on their own partisan biases. This tendency reinforces the “us versus them” binary thinking that politics often fuels and that we aim to challenge and discard on this show. We also examine recent posts from Trump about vaccin...

In this episode, I provide my thoughts on the recent school shooting and how it fits a pattern of individuals with a mental derangement plus political and religious intolerance seeking violence against unarmed and peaceful targets. I discuss the 'why' of the shooter and the 'why' of the political left's reaction. Then I briefly touch on recent Epstein-Maxwell news before examining the FBI searches...

In this episode, we begin by examining Judge Berman's decision to deny the DOJ's petition to unseal Epstein's grand jury materials—a ruling that makes more sense than it might initially seem. Next, we explore the recently declassified Clinton Foundation timeline, analyzing what might lie beneath its redactions and why such a document exists in the first place. And in the final 15 minutes of the sh...

It is raining declassified documents in D.C., and in this episode we rifle through a couple sets of them: the HPSCI whistleblower memos and documents concerning a hidden Durham investigation about 8 other investigations into leaks of classified information to U.S. media. Plus, we investigate a newly declassified email that connects back to a CIA report Director Ratcliffe released at the end of Jun...

In this episode, declassified FBI memos reveal that beginning in 2017, an HPSCI staffer and career intelligence officer alerted the FBI and DOJ OIG to one or more schemes directed by then-Rep. Adam Schiff to leak classified information to media in order to smear, “indict,” and “topple” the Trump Administration. This whistleblower met with authorities at least five times between 2017 and 2023, but...

In this episode, we build on our recent analyses of the Durham Report, its Classified Appendix, and the CIA and DNI reviews of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). I’ve gathered seemingly disparate puzzle pieces from the past and take a fresh look at them as we work to assemble parts of the intricate RussiaGate puzzle. We explore who or what "T1" might be, identify the CIA’s possible...

In this episode, we examine the news that DOJ has tasked an unnamed prosecutor to act on the recent criminal referral(s) from DNI Gabbard relating to politicized intelligence in 2016. And I ask, did AG Bondi just appoint a special counsel? Because this news makes a lot more sense if she did! We also dig into the Durham Report and Classified Appendix again, as I reframe several events from 2016 wit...

In this episode, we spend time examining the politicization and weaponization of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) before diving deep into The Durham Report’s analysis of the Clinton Plan intelligence.

In this episode, I recap the recent significant RussiaGate declassifications, disclosures, and referrals that have led to the creation of a DOJ Strike Force.
